DHCP simulation tool for windows

Question

_{Wednesday, January 22, 2020 6:59 PM}

Hi, 

I am looking to determine the time it takes for a client ( windows machine ) to get an IP address from a remote DHCP server starting from DHCP Discover up until DHCP Acknowledge.

Are there any tools that could be used to say for e.g. send a test DHCP discover, get a response from the remote DHCP server and then use wireshark to undertstand how much time the process took?

Regards,

Kirti

Hi Kirti ,

The following figure shows an overview of the lease process when the DHCP server and DHCP client are on the same subnet.

If you want to determine the time it takes to send a DHCP Discovery message from a client to receive a DHCP Ack message from a server, we recommend that you use the Network Monitor tool.

In Network Monitor you can get the specific time spent as shown below.

You can download the tool via the following link:https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=4865

Hope this can help you, if you have anything unclear, please let me know.

Have a nice day!

Allan
